® 715 Volt/mA Calibrator Instruction Sheet Introduction The Fluke 715 Volt/mA Calibrator is a source and measurement tool for 0 to 24 mA current loop testing and dc voltage from 0 to 20/25 V. The calibrator does not source and measure simultaneously. Your calibrator is supplied with a holster, a set of test leads, an installed 9 V alkaline battery, and this instruction sheet. Summary of Calibrator Capabilities Function dc mV input Range 0 to 200 mV Resolution 0.
If the calibrator is damaged or something is missing, contact the place of purchase immediately. Contact your Fluke distributor for information about accessories. To order replacement parts or spares, see “Replacement Parts.” To contact Fluke, call one of the following telephone numbers: USA and Canada: 1-888-99-FLUKE (1-888-993-5853) Europe: +31 402-675-200 Japan: +81-3-3434-0181 Singapore: +65-*-276-6196 Anywhere in the world: +1-425-356-5500 Address correspondence to: Fluke Corporation P.O.
Safety Information Use the calibrator only as specified in this sheet, otherwise the protection provided by the calibrator may be impaired. A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user; a Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the calibrator or the equipment under test. Y Warning To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury: • Never apply more than 30 V between any two jacks (terminals), or between any jack and earth ground.
1. With the Calibrator OFF, press the key. P.S.xx is displayed, where xx is the turn-off time in minutes. OFF means the power saver is disabled. 2. Press @ and/or I to increase or decrease the turnoff time in minutes. 3. To disable, press I until the display shows OFF. HART TM Resistor Mode The calibrator has a user selectable 250 ohm HARTTM resistor to facilitate use with HARTTM communication devices. The resistor can be switched in/out at any time by simultaneously pressing and keys.

Using the Current Output Modes The calibrator provides current output in mA or percent display. Percent is -25.00 to 125.00%, where 0% is 4 mA, and 100% is 20 mA. In source mode, the calibrator supplies the current. In simulate mode, the calibrator simulates a two-wire transmitter in an externally-powered current loop. Sourcing mA Use source mode whenever you need to supply current into a passive circuit such as a current loop with no loop supply.
Simulating a Transmitter Use simulate mode when an external 24 to 30 V loop power supply is available. Insert the test leads into the mA SIMULATE − and + jacks as shown below. OUTPUT Press to step up/down 4 mA (25%) Press so that OUTPUT is on the display mA % V mV Press to toggle mA and % of 4-20 mA scale mA % Press to scroll up/down 0.001 mA. Hold down to scroll faster.

Maintenance For maintenance procedures not described in this sheet, contact a Fluke Service Center. In Case of Difficulty • Check the battery and test leads. Replace as necessary. • Review this sheet to make sure you are using the correct jacks and pushbuttons. If the calibrator needs repair, contact a Fluke Service Center. If the calibrator is under warranty, see the warranty statement below for terms. If the warranty has lapsed, the calibrator will be repaired and returned for a fixed fee.
Cleaning Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents. Calibration Calibrate your calibrator once a year to ensure that it performs according to its specifications. A calibration manual is available (PN 686540). Call 1-800-526-4731 from the USA and Canada. In other countries, contact a Fluke Service Center.
